Average Q2 TV Import Was 44.8% Costlier Than in 2020; Units Fell 5.6%
August 17, 2021 by Paul Gluckman|Top News

TV imports to the U.S. approached 11 million sets in Q2, about 650,000 fewer than in the 2020 quarter, according to Census Bureau data retrieved Saturday through the International Trade Commission’s DataWeb portal. Higher panel costs and other inflationary trends rendered the average Q2 TV import nearly $99 more expensive than its 2020 counterpart. TVs shipped here in January-June averaged customs value roughly 25% higher than in 2020's first six months.

"As proposed, such origin determinations would no longer abide by the precedent developed in over a century of determinations by the federal courts," the company said. The comments were posted Aug. 11 in the docket.

While grain-oriented electrical steel is subject to Section 232 tariffs, the domestic GOES producer says that electrical steel laminations and cores produced in Mexico and Canada continue to imperil the jobs at their mills. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., represent the workers at those mills, and they, along with Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., have proposed an amendment to the bipartisan infrastructure bill that would instruct the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to negotiate with Canada and Mexico in order to get them to agree to measures curtailing their exports if they are so numerous that they damage the business of Cleveland-Cliffs.
